"Finally achieved minor completion."

  Zhang Ruochen was quite delighted with the power of Taiyang Mai Jianbo.

  A single sword wave is enough to break through the Tianji Boundary's warrior protective heavenly garrison.

  As cultivation deepens, the power of Taiyang Mai Jianbo will become even stronger.

  The Ten Pulse Sword Wave, although it is only a high-quality spiritual martial skill, once all ten pulses are cultivated to perfection, it can reach the power of a lower-grade ghost-level martial skill.

  Of course, wanting to cultivate all ten pulses to a high level is no less difficult than cultivating ten kinds of top-grade spiritual martial techniques.

  "Zhang Ruochen, what are you doing?"

  Huang Yanchen was somewhat annoyed, and walked over from the other end of the hole in the wall, looked at the damaged wall, raised an eyebrow, held up his battle sword, and charged towards Zhang Ruochen with a burst of anger.

  When he saw Huang Yanchen, Zhang Ruochen suddenly realized that Huang Yanchen's cultivation mansion was just next door. The sword wave from earlier had pierced the defensive array pattern on the wall and probably entered Huang Yanchen's cultivation mansion.

  Nor did he know how much damage had been done to the Huangyan Dust Refining Mansion

  "Master."

  Kong Xuan rushed over and blocked Zhang Ruochen's path, staring at Huang Yanchen with hostility.

  No matter who it is, as long as they dare to be unfavorable to the master, Kong Xuan will definitely rush to the front line to help the master clear the enemy in front.

  The yellow dust storming over with anger and momentum was an enemy threatening his master in Kong Xuan's eyes.

  Zhang Ruochen lightly waved his hand and said, "Kong Xuan, you can leave first, this doesn't concern you."

  "Yes, master."

  Kong Xuan retreated behind Zhang Ruochen, still staring at Huang Yanchen with a vigilant gaze.

  Huang Yanchen stared at Kong Xuan with a cold and icy gaze, having some impression of her, as if she was the maid bought by Zhang Ruochen.

  Huang Yanchen glared at Kong Xuan, who didn't look pleased. With a sweep of his sword, he said, "How dare you, a mere servant girl, defy the young mistress? You're so unruly now, and in the future, you'll still have to deal with Zhang Ruocheng. If you can't manage yourself, I'll help you."

  Kong Xuan gave a cold stare, his aura in no way inferior to Huang Yanchen's.

  Zhang Ruochen said, "Sister, why must you be on the same level as her? Just now I was practicing a martial skill and unintentionally damaged Sister's practice mansion. If Sister needs compensation, just name a price."

  "No need for compensation, the young lady still owes you those few silver coins." Huang Yanchen said: "If you return that maid to me, I will not pursue this matter further."

  Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan's expression changed from confidence to concern, fearing that Zhang Ruochen would really send her away.

  If Zhang Ruochen really gave her to Huang Yanchen, from now on, would she have a good day?

  "Master"

  Kong Xuan's eyes were somewhat pitiful and pleading as he stared at Zhang Ruochen.

  Zhang Ruochen smiled and said: "Sister, you are a princess of the upper-grade state, why must you compete with a maid?"

  "You're going to compensate me for this, aren't you?" Huang Yanzhen said with a domineering tone.

  Zhang Ruochen shook his head.

  "Hmm"

  Huang Yanchen let out a cold hum and thrust his sword forward.

  Zhang Ruochen's hand turned into a phantom, using only two fingers to clamp down on Huang Yanchen's sword, rendering him unable to exert any strength.

  "Zhang Ruochen, you're ruthless. I should have known better than to let you live when your powers were still developing. If only I had struck you down with one sword back then, you wouldn't be here now to provoke me."

  Huang Yanchen clenched his snow-white teeth, sheathed his sword, and cold stars flashed in his eyes. "Zhang Ruochen," he said, "you've cultivated another unparalleled divine technique. The power of that previous strike is probably comparable to the full-force strike of a mid-stage Tianji Realm martial artist."

  Zhang Ruochen withdrew his fingers and lightly flexed his finger joints, saying calmly: "It was just a sword wave, not a particularly impressive martial skill."

  "It's better left unsaid"

  Huang Yanzhen was not lacking in profound martial arts secrets, and since Zhang Ruochen didn't say anything, she also didn't bother to continue asking.

  She gave Kong Xuan a fierce glance, her fists clenched tightly as she coldly said: "I've recently been cultivating the Wind Dragon Shadow in the Hurricane Cultivation Chamber and have achieved great success. I'm planning to challenge the Nine Extremes Tower, do you want to come with me?"

  "Shi Jie has already cultivated the Wind Dragon Shadow to Great Perfection," Zhang Ruochen said with some surprise.

  The Wind Dragon Shadow is a top-grade spiritual martial art.

  Zhang Ruochen was able to quickly cultivate successfully because he had previously cultivated this martial skill, and was quite familiar with the Wind Chasing Dragon Shadow. Recultivating it naturally made things twice as easy.

  Huang Yanchen was able to cultivate the Wind Dragon Shadow to perfection in just over a year, which truly made people feel unbelievable.

  To know, she didn't have any foundation at all.

  Unless she is extremely intelligent.

  Huang Yanchen coldly hummed, "You don't have a wind attribute physique, yet you've already cultivated the Wind Dragon Shadow to perfection. I possess a wind attribute physique and have also cultivated the Wind Dragon Shadow to perfection. What's strange is whether or not you'll go."

  Zhang Ruochen shook his head slightly and said, "I still need to continue practicing martial arts, so I won't go for the time being."

  Jiuzhuan Tower is actually a place where a warrior's strength is tested.

  So-called genius is just about how many levels of towers you can break through

  Generally speaking, warriors who can break through the first floor of the Jiuzhouta are mostly able to transcend a boundary in battle.

  A warrior who has passed the second floor of the Nine Extremes Tower can basically span two realms in battle. By analogy, a warrior who has passed the ninth floor of the Nine Extremes Tower can theoretically span nine realms and defeat his opponent.

  Other warriors flocked to the Nine Extremes Tower like a swarm of birds, hoping to make a name for themselves by conquering it.

  For example, Tianmo's Top Ten, they were the ones who broke through the third floor of Jiu Jue Tower and became famous throughout the world, known to all warriors in the 36 counties of Tianmo Ridge.

  But in Zhang Ruochen's view, the Nine Extremes Pagoda didn't have too much significance.

  Although Jiu Jue Tower is indeed related to innate talent, it has more to do with the war soldiers used by warriors and the martial skills they cultivate.

  Even if warriors with the same strength use war soldiers of different levels, the final test results will be different.

  Moreover, as the boundary becomes higher, the significance of Jiutian Tower also becomes weaker.

  For example, Wushu Academy has done statistics: among those who can become Tianji Realm warriors, 60% are one-in-a-thousand geniuses and 20% are two-in-a-thousand geniuses.

  For example, being able to become a semi-sage, almost ninety-nine percent are three absolutes or above geniuses, and there are even many four absolute geniuses, five absolute geniuses.

  It's not that being one of the three ultimate geniuses means you have a great chance of becoming a half-saint. In fact, ninety percent of the three ultimate geniuses won't even reach the realm of a half-saint. If one of the Ten Great Experts of the Devil Heavens can become a half-saint in the future, that would already be very impressive.

  So, even if you're a legendary Seven Extremes genius, it's impossible to transcend seven realms in battle once you reach the Half-Saint realm. Because, almost all warriors who can become Half-Saints already possess the strength to transcend several realms in battle.

  The higher the boundary, the more difficult it is to cross the boundary. The significance of Jiuzhu Tower is also weaker.

  Since it doesn't make much sense, why bother wasting time

  Huang Yanchen went to the Nine Extremes Tower, while Zhang Ruochen went to the Merit Tower and exchanged 60 merit points for six bottles of third-grade healing medicine, spending a total of 3,000 merit points.

  At the same time, Zhang Ruochen spent 10,000 merit points to buy ten Five-Grade Body Refining Pills and Ten Marrow Cleansing Pills.

  With the purchased Dan medicine, Zhang Ruochen once again came to Tongsheng Mountain, entered the Earth-level gravity training chamber for the second time, and continued to cultivate the fifth palm of Long Xiang's Ruo Palm.

  Elephant strength is ninefold.

  Still in an environment of twenty times gravity, Zhang Ruochen operated the full-body meridian, continuously striking out palm prints.

  After seven days of rest, Zhang Ruochen's physical body had recovered to its peak state and could support high-intensity cultivation.

  "Humming"

  He successively struck out 2,500 palm prints, Zhang Ruochen's arms and hands were severely injured again, almost half-crippled, had to stop, took a healing pill and a Tempering Bone Pill, while recovering from his injuries, tempered his tendons and bones.

  Tempering Bone Refining Tendon Pill is a fifth-grade body-refining pill, and even in the Wushang Academy, it would cost 1,000 merit points to exchange for just one.

  If it's outside, the price will be twice as expensive, and at least 2 million silver coins are needed to buy one.

  The value of one is comparable to the total assets of a mediocre family of eight.

  Even for a general Tianji Realm warrior, a Bone Tempering Pill is still a very precious treasure.

  When practicing palm techniques, taking the Tempering Bone and Refining Tendon Pill at the same time can make the flesh absorb the power of the pill more completely, thereby enhancing Zhang Ruochen's physical strength.

  Zhang Ruochen was going to impact the extreme boundary of the earth, not just the profound power, but also the physical quality had to be absolutely strong, in order to burst out enough power and speed.

  At Zhang Ruochen's current pure physical strength, he is already on par with a beginning Tianji Realm warrior.

  If he could refine those ten Tempering Bone and Muscle Pills, Zhang Ruo Chen's pure physical strength would surpass its original limits, reaching a higher level.

  After his injuries in both arms healed, Zhang Ruochen resumed practicing palm techniques.

  Half a month's time passed quickly, and the wound medicine purchased by Zhang Ruochen was exhausted. The ten Bone Tempering Tendon Refining Pills were also fully refined.

  Zhang Ruochen's physical strength had far surpassed his previous level. He could now unleash 10,000 palm prints in one go before being forced to stop and recover from his injuries.

  On the palm technique, Zhang Ruochen made great progress again. Even under twenty times gravity, he could still throw out three palms at the same time and burst out with triple the palm force.

  After leaving Tongsheng Mountain, Zhang Ruochen did not immediately return to the Xiufu Mansion, but instead went to the Yin Pao Elder's Hall to meet with Lei Jing.

  Now everyone knows that Zhang Ruochen is Lei Jing's secretly transmitted disciple, so there was no obstruction at all, and Zhang Ruochen saw Lei Jing very easily.

  Zhang Ruochen cupped his hands and bowed, saying: "Your Excellency, I want to go to the Earth Ranking Testing Palace to test my current strength and see how many places I can rank in the Earth Ranking."

  "You want to go to Di Bao testing palace, just go directly, why come to report to me?" Lei Jing asked.

  Zhang Ruochen said: "I just wanted to test the ranking on the Earth Ranking List, but I didn't want to enter the results into the Earth Ranking List so early."

  Lei Jing smiled slightly and understood Zhang Ruochen's intention.

  Zhang Ruochen wanted to test his current position on the Earth Ranking without revealing his true strength too early, so he came to ask for his help.

  Lei Jing's eyes narrowed and he said: "If I'm not mistaken, your current cultivation at the extreme boundary of the Extreme Realm should still be unable to enter the top 1000 on the Earth Ranking."

  "That's not necessarily true," Zhang Ruochen said.

  "If you can really reach the extreme state of the earth's extremity and rush into the top 1000 of the earth list, then when you reach the great perfection of the earth's extremity, you will definitely be able to rush into the top 100 of the earth list. Alright, if you can rush into the top 1000 of the earth list, I will give you a treasured item that I have been keeping, to help you rush towards the extreme state of the earth's extremity." said Lei Jingdao.

  What Lai Jing gave was certainly no ordinary thing.

  Zhang Ruochen's heart was filled with joy, and he said, "The student will definitely not disappoint the master's expectations."
